Rights Respected, People Protected
NRC in Iraq
Since the Government of Iraq declared that combat operations against the Islamic State Group (IS) had ended in 2017, Iraq has been
recovering from the significant damage and destruction caused by the armed
conflict. Of the more than six million Iraqis who fled their homes
since 2014, 4.5 million Iraqis have returned to their area of origin
and 1.4 million remain internally displaced. Many Iraqis have returned to
areas that lack basic infrastructure, services and livelihood opportunities, or
where explosive devices have not been cleared. Other challenges returnees and
secondarily displaced people face include the lack of security, community
acceptance, housing, property and civil documentation issues as well as
critical educational and health service gaps. Throughout this, Iraq continues
to host over a quarter of a million Syrian refugees.
The UN estimates that more than 4.1 million Iraqis will need assistance in
2020, 1.77 million of them in acute need. With military operations against IS
group having ended, the Iraqi government faces new challenges to ensure an
inclusive reconstruction and reconciliation that will sustain peace.
Since 2010, NRC Iraq has been assisting internally displaced Iraqis, Syrian refugees, returnees, and host communities in Ninewa, Dohuk,
Erbil, Kirkuk, Basra, Salahdeen and Anbar Governorates.
We focus on assisting the newly displaced, those
experiencing protracted displacement in camps, and people returning
to and living in hard-to-reach places by improving their chance of obtaining a
durable solution. NRC runs integrated programmes across Iraq to
respond to people in need using our shelter and
settlements, education, camp management, legal assistance,
livelihoods, and cash activities.
